TURKISH BATHS.

M. Julliard, in the June CosmO-
pohtdn: The bathing establish
ments, or bsndpas, consist of large
octagonal or circular halls, paved
with fagstones, around which run
stone seats or very hard divans. In
these halls, which are heated to ex-
cess and filled with steam, the bath
ers have themselves washed, rubbed
and shampooed by employees called
bLaks, who, with their hands en-
cased in hair gloves, knesd the flesh
vigorously until it becomes clean,
flexible and soft like satin. Men
go to the hath singly, and re-
main there only an hour or
two, but women go there in
parties, and sometimes pass the
entire day there, drinking syrups,
smoking cigarettes, eating yhat fou-
koun and sweetmeats, and sleeping
on divans or in small beds placed
around the bathroom. The exterior
of the k1mdnS presents nothing very
remarkable, They are large, low
structures built Of brick, covered
with stucco, aud always paved with
marble. They are lighted only by
small round skylights set in the
cupolas and provided with greenish
panes, which throw into the rooms
a dim light, resembling moon
light, and very favorable to
repose. A furnace underneath
heats the building by means of pipes
which run all through the walls
even. The temperature is raised to
forty, fifty and sixty degrees Ceuti-
grade. After undressing, the bathers
envelop themselves in long wrap
(peehtumaD, and make a delightful
plunge into cloud Of vapor, which
produces, even in the case of the
leanest, a profuse and facilitating
preparation. Ooe puts on clogs,
which look like small stills, to
protect ones feet from the extreme
heat of the floor. There are larg,
white marble urns fastened against
the wall, which receive cold and boil
ing water by separate tauce s; it is
around these urns that all the puriG-
cations commanded by the Koran
are made. Seated upon a little &C.
dar stool, the bather pours upon his
head and body large bowls Of water,
which he heats to the desired tenn
perature by the faucets. The ha-
mans, of which there are more than
800 in STEAMBOAT alone, have 40 fixed
tariff. The charges depend upon
the look and dress of the bather,
aud vary from two sous to
twenty three francs. Rich pashas
sometimes hire them outright for
their families, and think that if they
pay less than forty Turkish livres
| l$l8), they have doue something de-
rogatoIy to their dignity. On the
other hand, beggars and poor people
are admitted free of charge to certain
baths designed for their use; and this
is blessing to them as well az to
their neighbors; for these periodical
additions diminish their extreme
filthiness, and arrest the growth Of
the vermin nourished at their ex-

that the Arkansas was no longer
alone in the unequsl contest. The
enemy then hauled off their vessels
and returned to their anchorage up
the river.
1t was 10 m inutes to 8 o'clock in
the morning when the Arkansas
moored to the wharf at Vlcksburg.
Her smokestack was riddled aud she
was otherwise considerably damaged.
The scene which followed the land
ing of the Arkansas was Of the most
thrilling character. Crowds in the
city rushed to the wharf frantic with
Joy. AS Commander Brown present
ed himself to view, the warm, fresh
blood still trickling down his fur.
rowed cheeks from his wounded
head, the enthusiasm became ire
pressible. All felt that the graft
tude of the country and the admira-
ton of the navy were due to Com
mander Brown and his brave officers
and crew for their most brilliant
achievement.

just as soon as the document is sighed

He assured a reporter to-day that he
was with Manitoba in its contention for

pecuniary interest in the country, the
people could rely upon him pushing the
road to the boundary for all he was
worth. There are abundant men and
teams here ready to go On with the
